Show THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, 1927 15 Some Facts, Figures and Participants in Utah's Great Basketball Tourney Saints Outplayed in Final Game; Victors Will Enter Chicago Meet Superior Shooting of the Millard County Lads Bring Defeat to Champs Minersville 22 L. D. S. U 19 Five stalwart lads from Minersville, hoop winners of Millard county in region six, accomplished what Pleasant Grove, Murray and Dixie could not do, by overpowering the L. D. S. U. basketball machine In the championship tilt of interscholastic tournament in a hard fought struggle amid the complete astonishment of the mass of people that jammed the Deseret gymnasium Saturday. The final score was 22-19. FEAT REMARKABLE. The feat of the southerners is all the more remarkable, for the high school which the newly crowned champions represented has a student body of but forty-five, fourteen of whom are boys. From these fourteen youths, Coach Stan McKnight, himself a Minersville resident, developed the team that exhibited the necessary stamina and figTit to carry them through three grilling days of stiff competition and to climar the week by taking the measure of the defending state champions. When Referee Sid Spencer tossed the ball up between Jerry Smith of the L. D. S. U. and Marshall of Minersville, rival centers, not one of the 3300 keyed up fans were ready for the surprise party that the Milliard quintet had in store. THE SURPRISE PARTY. Five field goals, two by Gillins, two by Marshall and one by the giant, Smith, before the L. D. S. U. squad broke the ice, sent L. D. S. U. stock down and gave the defending champions and much interested fans something of an inkling of what was to come. With a lead of 10-0 flaunting in their faces, the Gold and Blue players grimly set their jaws and began the insurmountable task of overtaking the southern courtiers. Little did they or the large numbers of enthusiastic supporters realize that the damage was done, and that in addition the slim opportunity that was open, that of doubling their opponents from then on, went glimmering with an unwise defense Adopted by the Saints in the second quarter. L. D. S. U. did score in the first, quarter when Meacham gave the ball an intelligent flip after receiving a pass from Lybbert at the end of the seventh minute. The score was met with storms of applause, for spectators- sat back in their seats prepared to | witness the long delayed offense of the L. D. S. U., which they expected would , swing into action. But not so! Min ersville fought all the harder and the Saints chose to employ a zone defense, which crippled their own offense. SAINTS' DESPERATE TRY. The zone defense did accomplish one purpose, that of stopping the amazing scoring of the Minersville shooters, but it never gave the Saints much opportunity to chalk up goals and goals were much in need. Gillins sized up the proposition and consequently consumed much time in holding the ball watching the L. D. S U. defense work perfectly and at j the half Minersville was still leading by a comfortable margin, 14 to 4. I Coach Vadal Peterson sent his | charges back' into the game at the , start of the third quarter with man- j for-man defense and the style speeded j up the play and the Gold and Blue j offense was able to swing into motion j when Minersville became hurried. j DAVIS STARTS RALLY. Davis dribbled half the length of the j floor and dropped L. D. S. U's third | field goal and Lybbert contributed ! from the foul line on Gillin's personal j foul. Droubay and Davis duplicated j Lybbert's performance from the foul ; line and Smith tallied underneath the j basket. Marshall scored for Miners- i ville and the score at the third quar- j ter was 16 to 11. L. D. S. U. continued their drive I to overcome the lead, which seemed a | Herculean task at the half, but bril- • liant work by Glen Smith, who I counted his fourth field goal and fol- j lowed up with a foul pitch, brought j the Saints to within two points of tie- i ing Minersville, who led, 18 to 16. j Gillins broke up appearing complications by spinning the ball through the ring from the middle of the flq.or and sealed the doom of the Saints. Droubay and Marshall added points to the score in the closing minutes, but the game was history with Gillin's fling. A TALE IS TOLD. A strange tale is told in the comparative statistics on shooting by I players of the rival teams and therein lies a story. L. D. S. U. players essayed forty-six shots from scrimmage and were successful in but seven, while Minersville attempted thirty- three and eleven landed in the objective. The accuracy of the winners was unusual, while Droubay, Meacham and Davis missed repeatedly. Heroes there were, but the hero of heroes was Gillins. Wonderfully quick, an unerring passer, the Minersville Minersville Is Solely Product of Home Town TPHE new state scholastic five JL makes one of the strongest claims to distinction that any state champion five has yet enjoyed. The boys on the team constitute nine of the fourteen male members of the high school student body, and are all native sons. In addition, the coach is also a Minersville boy. Stanley McKnight, who has organized a state championshp five in two years of coaching, is also a native of the town. He finished school at the U. A. C. in 1925, and went right back home, where he has made his remarkable record. The Minersville boys were the center of an impromptu celebration at the Wilson hotel Saturday night, when members of the other schools and basKStball fans came to greet them. Coach McKnight is not certain just when the team will leave for home, but says the boys will so back before they board the rattler for the Chicago tournpy. Cantain G-Lllins, Hollingshead, Marshall. Smith. Eyre, Davis, Carter and Osborn are the eight members of the team, i NOTRE DAME IS TRACK WINNER Rockne Coached Team Takes Central Inter- collegiate. i By WALTER ECKERSALL. NOTRE DAME, Ind., March 19.- , Scoring points in eleven of the thirteen events, the Notre Dame team, coached by Knute Rockne, and as- sisted by John Wendleand, won the first annual indor track and field championships of the central inter- j collegiate conference here this after- ! noon with 42 3-4 points. Michigan State, developed by Ralph Young, a former University of Chicago athlete, was second with 26 1-2 points, and Coach Conrad Jennings' Marquette squad was third with 20 1-4 points. Ten of the eighteen institu- i tions broke into the point column and ; the games were a huge success. In fact, this set of championships | opens up a new field for develop- I rnent. Aside from the Big Ten meet, i which is open to members of the i western conference only, and the an- ! nual indoor relays of the University of Illinois, there is no other competition of note for nonconference schools in the middle west. Today's meet brought together stars who are certain to be members of next year's , American Olympic team and caused i others to come into the spotlight, j some of whom are sure to be heard from in the intercollegiate competi- ! tion to be held this spring out of doors. The sparkling performer of the championships was Fred Alderman of Michigan State, one of the best sprinters in the country. This reliable performer won the sixty-yard dash and running broad jump for a total of ten points. He ran in the anchor j position on his one-mile relay team, which was put out of the running on the first relay when Lang fell at the finish and dropped- his baton. His-' teammates made up some ground and when Alderman took up the going he was fifty yards behind. Fred simply flew around the track and landed his team in third place. His time for the forward gave a beautiful exhibition of court wizardry. Twice he connected with the hoop with sensational accuracy. Hollingshead and Eyre were potent parts in the defense that crippled the champ's scoring activities. Jerry Smith was the outstanding player for L. D. S. U., although he was closely seconded by Davis, whose floor work was noteworthy. The score: L D S U. MINERSVILLE. G.T.F.P. | G.T.F.P.

St. Wle Thank You! (Adv.) Utah Title Winners to Represent Utah Schools at National Hoop Meet Minersville, new Utah scholastic champion by virtue of its 22-to-19 defeat of the L. D. S. U. Saturday night, will be the team to represent the state at the national invitational scholastic ; meet in Chicago, which begins on , March 29. The Millard champion, coming from a school in which only fourteen boys are registered, is the third team from the southern part of the state to win the championship in the J last four years, the L. D. S. U. breaking the string of southern winners I last year when the Saints won the | title. PLAY WELL THROUGHOUT. The new champions played a good brand of ball all through the tournament, winning without much difficulty on the first three nights and outplaying the Gold and Blue five the final night. Minersville defeated Logan in the opening game of the tournament, haying a margin of 29 to 17 at the end of the game. The second I night they defeated Springville by the wide margin of 32 to 21, and in the semifinals won from Manti, 22 to 14. The Saints advanced to the finals by virtue of three hard-fought games. The first night, Pleasant Grove, region three favorites, went out, 23 to 22. The second night Murray fell rather easy prey to the Saints and the Gold and Blue five came out ahead, 30 to 16. The third night of play Dixie fell before the L. D. S. U. onslaught, 31 to 22. Other tournament place winners are Dixie, third; Provo, fourth; Pleasant Grove, fifth; Manti, sixth; Murray, seventh, and Logan, eighth. The Minersville five is a fast and rangy team, which possesses the faculty for closely following the ball and has a fast offensive. In all of their opponents, using a fast passing game land being unusually accurate under I the basket, where their height worns to remarkable advantage. SECURE REVENGE, i A year ago Minersville came to the I tournament for the first time, and j was matched against the L. D. S. U. j i the first night. The Saints tropneed them, 18 to 13, although it was a close 1 run for the money, and this year the Purple and White boys came back determined to go through. It was a ; form of sweet revenge for the lads to ! take the title from the Saints. Minersville had an unusual record in the south this year, and the per- i formance is no source of great sur- ; prise to those who have seen it go i through the Millard district without ! a snag. The team won all of its | league games by more than ten points, and have a preseason schedule -that records but a single defeat. This was at the hands of the B. A. C. five, | which took an extra period game, 16 : to 14. Including the tournament ' games, the new state titlists boast a i record of twenty-one victories and a i single defeat. j The team will go back to Minersville before leaving for the national I meet, Coach Stanley McKnight said j ' after the game Saturday night. The ' boys will receive $500 from the state ' association towards defraying expenses, and the donation of tournament fans was also large. An organized campaign will be undertaken to- | wards raising the remaining amount. I quarter was unofficially clocked in ! :49 3-5.

DIXIE FIVE WINS THIRD POSITION Manti Beaten as Fliers Flash High Score. Dixie 42 Manti 16 The Dixie Fliers showed their heels to the Manti five in the semifinal contest of the tournament, winning handily by a count of 42 to 16. The region six, Dixie division, winners played an especially fast game and with L. Cox, center, caging shots from all angles of the court, were able to set a record score for the twenty- six games extending over the four days of play. Coach Hafen's five, by virtue of their win against the Sanpete county winners, placed third in the standing. Manti failed to show the same brand of ball displayed in her first two encounters and with her scoring ace. All- red, off in his shooting, proved an easy victim to the fighting Dixie five. Saturday's defeat placed Manti in seventh place. SHIFTED LINEUP. The Dixie coach sent in a shifted lineup to open the first period, two of his substitutes being sent to the firing line. Cox, Dixie center, lost little t*me in starting a shooting rampage which finally gave him a record for total field goals scored in any one contest. Before the final shot, this stellar player had counted ten field goals for 20 points. On the opening day, Romney, his teammate, cornered the same number of points, although two of the twenty points were counted from the foul line. Anderson, the diminutive Manti for- • ward, counted the second and third field goals, both being registered from close in shots. Allred made a neat pass to Anderson, the latter converting, and Manti again took the lead at 6 to 4. K. Cox, Dixie guard, located the hoop for a goal and this was fol- | lowed by an easy shot which was j converted by Wakeling. Close de- | fensive work prevented further scor- i ing for the first quarter, which end- j ed 8. to 6 for Dixie. MANTI SCORELESS. In the second period Manti was held scoreless. Romney was awarded two foul pitches, the penalty being the first inflicted on either team. Neither pitch was converted. A field goal by Wakeling, before the end of the period, gave Dixie a nine-point lead at the half, 15 to 6. Cox started the scoring in the third quarter, his shot being a difficult one from the side and corner. Shortly after, he again got away for a field goal, making his throw from near the basket. Romney soon came through with his first field goal of the game. Allred, although making numerous shots which appeared headed for the hoop, failed to register. Stott came through with a field goal for Manti, the first scored by then since the first five minutes of play. Cox and Romney added goals to increase the score to 25 to 8 for Dixie. Just before the gun, Allred counted two longs shots, tbe third period ending with the score 27 to 12 for Dixie. In the final period Manti added t'."o field goals against seven field goals and one foul goal registered by Dixie. FAWCETT SHINES. Fawcett, Dixie guard and cant/vju. played stellar ball for the winners. He was given a big hand when he was relieved by one of his teammates. Cox, besides being high point scorer with ten field goals, played a strong floor game. All of the eight Dixie players who were sent into the fray came through with flying colors. Anderson proved to be the best bet for Manti. He counted eight of their sixteen points. Burr played a good game at guard. DIXIE. MANTI. G.T.F.P. G.T.F.P.

MURRAY'S SPURT STOPPED BY GUN Provo Narrowly Escapes Defeat in Sensational Finish. PROVO 34 MURRAY . 32 Provo high school narrowly averted defeat at the hands of Murray in a finish as sensational as the most critical fan could desire in the second game of the evening's program. The final score was 34-32 and ended just as Campbell dropped in his fourth long shot which was scored in the last period. Provo will receive a rating; of fourth place as a result of its victory and Murray will be accorded seventh position. With rapidly fading hopes for victory in the face of a 30-18 advantage held by Provo at the conclusiom of the third quarter, Murray began the task of overtaking its adversary in the following eight-minute period, and almost succeeded in accomplishing the remarkable feat. The gun put an end to the sensational rally of the Smelterites that fell but two points short. HOOVER EJECTED. Hoover, left forward for the Garden City team, who has been disturbing the peace of the guards in the Alpine section, was removed for excessive fouls at the beginning of the fourth quarter and his absence was keenly felt. Thomas converted the pitch wihich followed Hoover's ejection from the fray, and Bown and Biddulph, who was substituted for Hoover, soared the final baskets for Provo. Campbell then proceeded to shock the tfans from Utah county and bring the Smelterite supporters to their feet with an exhibition of uncanny shooting that violated all the laws of common-sense basketball. The running guard followed a foul pitch with two long thrusts in rapid succession and the orgy of basket- registering that rung up 13 straight points, while Provo was held scoreless. Peters whipped in a basket, bringing the score up tcr 34-26 and Thomas tipped the ball in from underneath the hoop. HOOP A MAGNET. Coach Glen Simmons began stopping the play in addition to Provo's utility of time out by sending in a substitute and then reinserting the original player, but the strategy was of little avail. Campbell looped in another long-range shot and the fast- coming Murrayites were but four points behind. Again Campbell had opportunities to work the ball deeper, but he flung the ball haphazardly toward the ring and once more the ball fell true. The gun was fired a second later, putting an end to the agony of the Provoites. The game was exceptionally fast and clean, and an all-around fine exhibition to watch. Bown and Robison played the steadiest ball for the winners, while Hoover got the ranges of the hoop in the second half, when he sunk three goals. Thomas was the outstanding player for Murray, while Campbell's phenomenal performance in the closing minutes will long be remembered. PROVO. | MURRAY. G.T.F.P G.T.F.P.

Coach Harry Richards' flashy Pleasant Grove hoopsters, who were beaten by the L. D. S. U. on the first night of the tourney by the narrow margin of one point, captured the consolation meet and fifth place in the tournament decisively trimming the Logan cagers, 32 to 17, in the opener Saturday. After the first few minutes of play it was plainly evident that the Logan team was outclassed, but the splendid fighting spirit of the northerners kept the battle interesting throughout. PASSING TOO FAST. The lightning passing of the Pleasant Grove five, which had proved so troublesome to its opponents throughout the meet, was too swift for the Logan guards to fojlow successfully, although both Spencer and Barrett played well on defense. It was simply a case of too much speed to be stopped. Spencer hurt his ankle early in the second period and the injury hampered him continually. Brinley opened the scoring by counting a foul try, and Hays scored his only field goal of the game shortly' afterward. Brinley made another foul, and Richards of Logan also counted a penalty try during the quarter. Score-Pleasant Grove, 4; Logan, 1. Brinley scored two sensational circus throws during the second quarter, and West also hit the hoop on two occasions. Kirk made a foul to bring the Grovers' total to 13 at the half. Baskets by Barrett, Richards and Westover added six points to the Logan score, totaling 7. Westover was the only Loganite to count during the third quarter, the snappy little forwaM bringing the Logan score to 13. In the meanwhile, Brinley, West and Olpin made the Grovers' score read 24. CHRISTIANSEN BRILLIANT. The insertion of Christiansen, one i of the cleverest forwards in the tourney, into the Pleasant Grove lineup in the final period spelled doom for the Logan team. The little star rang in three field goals and a foul try during the quarter, and, aided by a foul by Hays, raised the Grovers' ante j to 32. Johnson, Logan substitute j guard, made two baskets for the j losers, bringing their final count to 17. j Despite the short period of time j he played, Christiansen was probably | the outstanding player of the contest, j His floor game was unequaled, and' he showed a deadly eye for the hoop. Brinley was high-point man of the game and also played well on defense. West, on the guard line, sank four pretty field goals to follow Brinley in the scoring. For Logan, Westover, Barrett and Spencer showed best. Westover led the scoring with seven points, and the floor game of Barrett was brilliant. Spencer played a fine defensive game. The score: PL.

BOWLERS SEITING FURIOUS PACE Publisher and Partner Assume Lead in the Doubles. PEORIA, Ill., March 19.-By the Associated Press.)-With a brilliant last game of 259 made possible by a series of eight straight strikes, Mort Luby, publisher of the Bowlers' Journal of Chicago, together with his partner, George Stewart, managed to oust Holmes and Vyzral, also of Chicago, from the two-man leadership here today in the American Bowling congress. Their total was 1295. Luby rolled games of 232, 211 and 259 for 702, the highest of the tournament, while Stewart tallied scores of 184, 207 and 202. I Pin gathering was good today, a number of other leaders appearing in both the singles and doubles.

LYMAN EAGER FOR WYOMING TOURNEY Western Part of State Has Confidence in Team. Specral to The Tribune. EVANSTON, Wyo., March 19.- When the Wyoming State high school tournament opens Monday in Laramie the Lyman Eagles are going to be there to uphold the honors of this part of the state. The Lyman high team is coached by Dick Hansen, formerly of the Utah Aggies. Every man in the quintet has seen tournament competition. The Bridger valley entry will be a center of all eyes when it takes the floor at Laramie next Monday. The fans of Laramie have yet to forget the "Blue and White" entry from Lyman, which last year spilled the dope bucket by handing the Laramie high school (playing through champions) an unexpected trimming in the opening round of play. The men who will start in the opening game for the Eagles will undoubtedly be as follows: Captain George Pearce, forward. Pearce is without a peer In the western division as a pivoter and deceptive dribbler. His running mate at the other forward position will either be James Platts or Alvin Elmers, both excellent floor men and scorers. For the pivot position the call will, without, question, fall to Desmond Phillips, who has greatly polished his floor play since his last Laramie appearance. At right guard, Stewart Rollins, leading scoreing guard of the western division and ace of the Eagle scorers, will be found. Rollins rated last year as the fastest dribbler in the state. Dribbling with either hand, he has developed a finished polish that has made him a dangerous man with the ball. M6st of Rollins' scores this year have resulted from sensational dribbles through the "opposing defense. At the other guard position will be stationed William Briggs, a product of Manila, Utah, who holds down the standing guard position. As first line reliefs, Crystal Youngberg and Ren Twitchell will make the trip to the university city. From the western part of the county the Evanston high quintet will make the tourney trip. While a smooth working, well-coached team, the local boys, without any previous tournament experience, are expected to reap more .ripening than winning honors. They are, however, a distinct threat and may gum the machinery of some of the tourney favorites. TIPPLE COMES BACK. Dan Tipple, former American association pitcher, who later went to the big show, then faded out of the picture, v has been resurrected by Joe Cantillon for the Little Rock club. Tipple has been pitching independent ball since 1923, when he jumped a contract with Minneapolis. His chief bid for fame came in 1915, when he pitched a no-hit game for Indianapolis. On the strength of this, he went to the Yankees. KITCHEN TO MANAGE. Strang Nicklin, Chattanooga owner, who also operates the High Point club of the Piedmont league, has announced that Frank Kitchen, veteran catcher, has been signed to manage the latter team. Kitchen ha* been managing teams in Texas for several years. Wrestlers Make More Than Ball Players, Curley Says NEW YORK, March 19.-Jack Curley, promoter of wrestling, says that Babe Ruth is the highest salaried ball player in the world, "but what he will get out of baseball will not make him the athlete wH3i the greatest annual income. For instance, he can name several wrestlers, any one of whom earns more than $70,000 a season. "Babe is the champion in the business of making home runs," continued Jack, "so it would not be amiss to compare his salary with what Joe Stecher, a champion wrestler, earns annually from the mat game. For several years Joe has earned about $150,000 a season. Joe's case proves there's more to be made by wrestling than playing ball, and Stecher had the right dope a long time'ago, for he quit the diamond to make his way in the world as a wrestler. ' 'Stecher played ball as a ^professional with the Salt Lake City club of the Pacific Coast league in 1917. When he wasn't covering second base he used to wrestle. The Phillies obtained him through the drafting process, but Joe evidently thought more about wrestling than he did of starting what might have been a successful career in the big leagues. He refused to report to the Phillies, quit baseball and started on the road that eventually led him to the world wrestling championship. '' COMPOSITE TOURNEY BOX SCORES PARK CITY. G. Ft. F. Pts.
